1) God Forbid was a melodic metalcore band from New Brunswick, New Jersey that was formed in 1998. Their style is different than the styles presented by other, popular metalcore bands: God Forbid's influences are deep-rooted in thrash metal. Building up a following in the late 1990s by touring with bands such as Cradle of Filth, Nile, and Candiria, their first full album Reject the Sickness was released by 9 Volt Records in 1999. This album received heavy rotation from WSOU-FM in the New York City area, and the band was subsequently signed to Century Media Records, releasing the album Determination in 2001. They played on the MTV2 Headbanger's Ball tour with Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, and Lamb of God. In 2004, they released Gone Forever, which helped increase their status considerably. They supported Machine Head along with Caliban in Nov/Dec of 2004 in the UK. The next year, they released IV: Constitution of Treason, a concept album about the end of the world. In 2005-2006 they supported Trivium on their UK tour along with Mendeed & Bloodsimple.
In 2009, they released a brand-new album, Earthsblood. To promote this album, they went on a tour with August Burns Red, DevilDriver and Anthrax.

God Forbid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's time to break down the walls, the cries
When I wake does the sun shine on me
When I sleep does the moon look from above
Have you ever taken the time to judge the blood
The lyrics to God Forbid's song Judge The Blood speak to the need to break down societal barriers and look beyond superficial differences. The singer is urging listeners to pay attention to the cries of those who are marginalized or oppressed and to question the established order. The first two lines call for "words of wisdom" to be heeded and for walls to be broken down. The following lines use vivid imagery to highlight the contrast between night and day, drawing attention to the different experiences people may have depending on their circumstances.
The final line, "Have you ever taken the time to judge the blood," is a powerful metaphor that suggests that people should not be judged by their appearance or social status, but rather by the "blood" that runs through their veins - a reminder that we are all fundamentally the same. The lyrics encourage listeners to look past the surface and make a genuine effort to understand and empathize with those different from themselves.
